▶️ Watch on 3Speak

Hello everyone in this wonderful group and community (afri-tunes). I am your guy @joshuabbey.. How are you doing over there? Its my pleasure to see you here again this week for another edition of afritunes weekly music contest.

Greetings to the moderator @afri-tunes, and all the supporters of this community. To all the artist who has been performing weekly in this community, i say Kudos to you all.

I am here again this week with another wonderful song by beautiful nubia titled "Pass the calabash". You know that whenever I'm here, I'm always here with an Africans type of music and the same thing goes this week, another African music. I am sorry for mentioning week 66 in my video.

This song is talking about the african culture that has to do with love and harmony. Our social life is far different from other places because we see ourselves not as neighbors but as families, as friends and brothers. African people love to do things together, when on farm, they like to work together, i.e today they will go to one person's farm and tomorrow they will gather again to work in another person's farm, that is their nature and after the work for the day they gather together in a place like a cool spot, and they settle down to enjoy themselves with drinks. Sometimes they eat together after they are through with their work for the day, in the same big bowl, with one cup, they dine and wine together.

For Each age group, when they gather in the evening in their meeting place (some have their meeting point under a big tree in the village, some will be at the market square). During this meeting in the evening, they will get a big container for palm wine bigger enough to satisfy every one of them. And like I said earlier, they drink from one cup, passing the cup from one person to another. They do this without discrimination and hatred, even to those that are non indigenous of the village, they still extend their same love to them. And when it comes to joyful occation like wedding ceremony, they gather together to celebrate, even during disaster or bad occurrence, they rally around themselves and solve the problem together like brothers. Thats the African ways of doing things especially the parts where I come from, we are just like brothers.

So therefore, below is the lyrics of the song "pass the Calabash"

Our work is done, It's time to have some fun, people come together sing a song of joy
Pass the calabash o make we drink some palmwine (pass the calabash o make we drink some palmwine)

Our work is done, It's time to have some fun, people come together sing a song of joy
Pass the calabash o make we drink some palmwine (pass the calabash o)

Pass am o, pass am o, drink am o drink
Share am o, share am o, don't you forget
In Africa, people always share, we love our neighbours all, we don't discriminate (In Africa, people always share, we love our neighbours all, we don't discriminate)

Ah, pass the calabash oh-oh (Ah, pass the calabash oh-oh)
Ah, pass the calabash oh-oh (Ah, pass the calabash oh-oh)
Ah, pass the calabash oh-oh (Ah, pass the calabash oh-oh)

Ah, pass the calabash o make we drink some palmwine (pass the calabash oh-oh)
My brother make we shack some palmwine
(Pass the calabash oh-oh)
Everybody make we drink some palwine (pass the calabash oh-oh)
My sister make we shack some palmwine (pass the calabash oh-oh)
